Fiddler Don Richardson plays traditional tune "Mississippi Sawyer" in what may be the first country music recording session in April of 1916. The tune dates from the 1830s, as far as I can determine. From the original 78rpm disk. Topics: Music, Folk, Old-Time Appalachian, Fiddle Tune, Fiddle, 78rpm, Oldtime Source: Original 78rpm disk digitized by old78collector

A very early recording of the traditional country fiddle tune "Arkansas Traveler", played by Don Richardson, dating from April of 1916. There is a barely audible piano accompaniment. This is from the original 78rpm disk, which is not in great shape, and there is considerable noise. But this recording does not seem to be widely available even as a reissue, so I thought it worthwhile to post it despite the condition.
